No permanent commission for women in Army: govt

The government told the Delhi HC, There is no scope for granting permanent commission to women in the Army,

Solicitor General of India Gopal Subramanium submitted before Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul that the granting of permanent commission to women officers on short service commission in the Indian Army is not possible.

The court was hearing the plea of officers who have filed a public interest petition challenging the government’s proposal of September, 2008, to bypass them for future grant of permanent commission.
Currently, women are inducted in the Army as officers under the SSC for a maximum period of 14 years though their male counterparts are eligible to receive permanent commission after five years.
